Barack Obama’s electability

I wanted something to write to see if I knew how to actually post a blog on the site. So I thought I’d share the most interesting thing I read today about the upcoming presidential election.

“…our [Politico’s] conversations with Democrats who speak to the Clintons make plain that their public comments are only the palest version of what they really believe: that if Obama is the nominee, a likely Democratic victory would turn to a near-certain defeat. Far from a no-holds-barred affair, the Democratic contest has been an exercise in self-censorship. Rip off the duct tape and here is what they would say: Obama has serious problems with Jewish voters (goodbye Florida), working-class whites (goodbye Ohio) and Hispanics (goodbye, New Mexico).”

Here’s the story link for anyone interested:
